Can Barack Obama be the next president of the United states of America?

Answer 1

He has very good chance. he is a liberal and a conservative figure that. he support tough immigration laws
and is for a national health-care program. He supported the Afghanistan war- He was against the Iraq war (wow and his prediction were right)

many people have circulated false rumors about him (a sign that alot people are afraid of him) i do not look at him as a white or black canidate for president , but as Young American that can cross over to both party lines to get the job done.
At this moment i would vote for Obama.

Most people think Obama is liberal because.
most republican tend to think if your not a republican then your a liberal (which is true lol) but he is not a republican
he is outspoken, liberals complain . he trys to find answers

Barack Obama is of Black and White heritage
He is a harvard graduate
He is a christian
He is devoted father and husband
He is not a muslim


back in 2002 senator Obama made a thought provoking speech. A speech if you look at it today its like wow
he is correct.

he is young and he is feisty but mellow i call that confidence
I urge all americans to research all presidentail canadiates and then pick the best one.

But this young man turned my head .I can not give his words any justice so in own words this is what he demanded that has yet to be fullfilled

I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances. The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil.

I don't oppose all wars. My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton's army. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil.

I don't oppose all wars. After September 11, after witnessing the carnage and destruction, the dust and the tears, I supported this administration's pledge to hunt down and root out those who would slaughter innocents in the name of intolerance, and I would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such tragedy from happening again.

I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne. What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income, to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.

That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.

Now let me be clear: I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power.... The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him. But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors...and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.

I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda.

I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars. So for those of us who seek a more just and secure world for our children, let us send a clear message to the president.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let's finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to make sure that...we vigorously enforce a nonproliferation treaty, and that former enemies and current allies like Russia safeguard and ultimately eliminate their stores of nuclear material, and that nations like Pakistan and India never use the terrible weapons already in their possession, and that the arms merchants in our own country stop feeding the countless wars that rage across the globe.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to make sure our so-called allies in the Middle East, the Saudis and the Egyptians, stop oppressing their own people, and suppressing dissent, and tolerating corruption and inequality, and mismanaging their economies so that their youth grow up without education, without prospects, without hope, the ready recruits of terrorist cells.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to wean ourselves off Middle East oil through an energy policy that doesn't simply serve the interests of Exxon and Mobil.

Those are the battles that we need to fight. Those are the battles that we willingly join. The battles against ignorance and intolerance. Corruption and greed. Poverty and despair.

Answer 2

No doubt Barack Obama is one of the front runners within the Democratic party. ( behind Hillary, of course) Is the USA ready for an African American President or a woman president? I am not so sure we are. ( the country as a whole) If elected president, could he fix alot of problems within the world? I doubt it..he would be doing well, if he could just fix a few of the problems within the USA. God Bless America!

Answer 3

Barack Hussein Obama the next President of the United States, no, I doubt that.

Answer 4

Yes, he could. He is running a close 2nd to Hillary Clinton.
But the election is not until Nov. of 2008 & anything can happen to either or both of them before that time. Meaning, of course, mistakes.
It is not hard to make a mistake in Politics. The wrong word spoken at the wrong time, a misunderstood answer blown out of perportion, any type of error can be death in the polls & in the party. Only time will tell.

Answer 5

He can, but he won't. He is left of Hilliary and that's what it'll take to win in the primaries, but he hasn't got the experience to do it now. Soon, real soon, someone is gonna have dirt on this guy and it will be totally exploited for petty reasons and we will see how he acts. I just don't think an inexperience guy can win this time. We need stability right now, not an experiment.

Answer 6

Some one just asked this question, but it's possible for Obama to become president.....unlikely, though.

Answer 7

I hope so. Hillary is not the person this country needs to be the first female President. How culd I tell my daughter to look up to someone like that?

Answer 8

ABSOLUTELY!!! He is #1 in my book!! I have trust, respect and confidence in him!! I Believe he will make an Awesome leader for this Country and it's people!!!

Answer 9

Yeah sure. I Like him. I don't know enough to make a final decision yet, but why not?

Answer 10

He seems intelligent,with a good head on his shoulders.I'll say one thing,he has a hell of a long way to go to get as bad as G.W.B.I'd vote for him as he seems more human then the rest of them.
